The windshield wipers quit while exiting an interstate highway ramp (I-94) in port huron, mi. We were in the middle of a torrential rain storm with very low visibility and the loss of wipers created a serious safety hazard. Upon inspection, it was determined that the wiper linkage had disengaged and fallen off. The wiper linkage/transmission required for repair is acdelco part# del 84241847. We purchased it at a cost of $66.69 and it was installed by a family member.

While driving home on the highway, it began to rain heavily. I went to turn on my windsheild wipers and they would not engage. I was terrified and could not see a thing. Because the traffic was heavy, I was not going fast, but slowed down even more to afford myself some visibility. I did some research on this problem and found recalls for the 2013 model. I also found websites where other model year owners have detailed the same terrifying default. I called GMC and was told my VIN was not under recall. A mechanic has advised that it sounds like the motor needs replacing because he hears the gears grinding, but this was not an official diagnostic. I did not purchase the extended warranty when I bought the car in December 2016. I cannot believe I have to fork over $$$ to fix an known GMC issue. I have read complaints on the link below from 2010 owners as well. I hope GMC will either making this model year part of the recall, or reimbursing the owners expenses to fix it. Thanks for the platform to be heard.

The car is only 5 years old and now the compressor and condenser are broken and need to be replaced. Seem like GM products aren't holding up very well. I had to have freion added last year because the ac wouldn't work and again this year.

Driving down I5 during a downpour when the drivers side windshield wiper went off the side of the windshield. Skirted trafficto bring the car to the side of the road and moved the wiper back onto the windshield. Wipers would no longer work.
